Rufo only scratched the surface, Claudine Gay of Harvard reportedly has a long history of plagiarism according to Aaron Sibarium

 Along with her dissertation, the decades-long pattern paints a picture of sloppiness, at best, and willful dishonesty at worst.

The whole sorry business is recounted here

 

The plagiarism matter is entirely separate from the main show, however, in my opinion.

The character pattern of willfully omitting attribution involved in plagiarism is certainly related to the habit of Hamas defenders ignoring Hamas' crimes against Israel, of course, but it distracts from the issue which made Claudine Gay an issue in the first place.

She and the other university presidents could not bring themselves to say unequivocally that calls for a genocide of Jews violated their campus bullying and harassment policies.

Focusing on Gay's academic failings is already obscuring that.

Once a Nazi Barbie always a Nazi Barbie

". . . in the Middle East", but not in Israel.

White nationalists say they are against foreign and military aid to Israel, which has averaged about $3.8 billion annually since 1950

 According to Richard Spencer and Nick Fuentes, who agree that Trump broke their hymen, being anti-Israel just means you are educated. Being pro-Israel means you are a moron.

Hamas wing at Pennsylvania's Dickinson College goes after Democrat Senator John Fetterman for his unqualified support for Israel

 Pennsylvania is home to a large Jewish population. Philadelphia, the state's largest city, has the fifth largest Jewish population in the country, according to the Center for Israel.

The article twice says amusingly that Democrat Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan was "censored". 

She wasn't. She was censured by the U.S. House of Representatives for what she freely said.

It is unclear from the story whether Mireille Rebeiz, Chair of Middle East Studies and Associate Professor at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania, actually said censored or censured. It is possible she is not correctly quoted. It is also possible she doesn't understand English that well.

Hard to say!

In any event, Newsweek's headline is over the top: "John Fetterman Faces Revolt in Pennsylvania". It's one crank at a college, to which you probably shouldn't send your kid.

Democrat Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) censured for anti-semitism in bi-partisan House vote 234-188

From NBC News, here:

 

WASHINGTON — House lawmakers on Tuesday censured Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the sole Palestinian American in Congress, over her remarks and actions in response to the Israel-Hamas war.

The censure resolution, authored by Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., passed 234 to 188, with 22 Democrats voting for it and four Republicans opposing the measure. A censure vote only requires a simple majority to pass.

The resolution censures Tlaib, D-Mich., for “promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.”

"It is a sad fact, but this type of antisemitic hate is being promoted by a small group of members in this body, chiefly Rep. Tlaib," McCormick said on the House floor before the vote. "We must hold her accountable."

More defunct neo-liberalism from Biden & Blinken: Put the losers to Hamas back in charge in Gaza

 “At some point, what would make the most sense would be for an effective and revitalized Palestinian Authority to have governance and ultimately security responsibility for Gaza,” Blinken told the Senate hearing.

Might as well put Matt Yglesias in charge and go full-on not-a-serious-country fairy tale.

This is a bid for the Disney vote, that's all.

Hamas wing of the Democrat Party in Michigan divides its legislature

 Differences over what’s happening in Israel and Gaza were laid bare in the Legislature, where Democrats have been divided over pro-Israel resolutions like those that some other state legislatures have passed with near unanimity.

In the state House, a pro-Israel resolution that was introduced with bipartisan support is no longer expected to pass due to objections from some Democrats.

Abraham Aiyash, the Democratic floor leader in the chamber, strongly opposed the resolution.

Aiyash, who grew up in Hamtramck after his parents immigrated from Yemen, said that “if we’re going to condemn terror, we must condemn the terror and the violence that the Palestinian people have endured for decades.”

The state Senate opted to write its own resolution after the House’s stalled for more than a week.

It was introduced by the chamber’s lone Jewish lawmaker, Jeremy Moss, and passed easily with bipartisan support.
